Is ''Mad Max: Fury Road'' the action movie of the summer?

When the curtain dropped on Mad Max: Fury Road's Cannes film festival berth last week, the roof was subsequently blown open. George Miller's wildly anticipated follow up is exactly the insane, ecstatic spectacle we had all hoped it would be, and is sure to leave audiences in a state of wide eyed awe.

As it stands, 2015's action cinema pretenders already look to have their work cut out for them to keep up. What's fantastic is that the film lives up to the hype. Sure, the trailer looked incredible. Sure, all the promotional material supported that too, but that doesn't always end up being true for the movie.

George Miller has delivered exactly what those trailers promised: relentless, breathtaking, furious action for two whole blink-and-you'll-miss-em hours.

The movie is also a marvel of production design and aesthetics. There is beauty in the chaos. Shooting for a reported 120 days, Miller is said to have brought 150 stunt performers, not to mention members of Cirque Du Soleil, to the Namibia shoot.

It's alleged that the director showed the story board to production designer Colin Gibson a full 15 years ago. Gibson is also said to have begun principle design on Fury Road's awesome range of vehicles back in 2003.

Miller dots his action with quiet, weightless moments, as if the whole film is coming up for air. The results are awesome!
